Bob Dylan-At Budokan-RARE White Label Promo-Double LP Gatefold

$

26

This version of  Bob Dylan’s “Live At Budokan” LP is a RARE, original WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL , double vinyl gatefold package issued by Columbia Records in 1979. These very limited promotional copies were exclusively for radio stations and key retail and wholesale buyers….not available to the general public. There is a gold embossed “FOR PROMOTION ONLY” stamp on the back cover and a “Demonstration Not For Sale” track listing sticker on the front cover. There is no barcode.

There is some moderate ring-wear on the back cover and light wear on the front . The vinyl and label are in near mint condition. One of the sleeves has a minor wrinkle on one corner.  Except for a short quality spot check (5 minutes ago), THE RECORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN PLAYED. In fact, they had never even been removed from the original sleeves. The 36” x 24” poster is in mint condition, and has never been unfolded. The records play with minimal to zero surface noise and the fidelity is excellent. This record was given to me for promotional use by CBS/Columbia Records, in 1979, and has been in my personal collection since then.

….Bob Dylan at Budokan is a live album by Bob Dylan, released in 1979 (1978 in Japan) by Columbia Records. It was recorded during his 1978 world tour and is composed mostly of the artist's "greatest hits".
